PKC enables entrepreneurs to leave daily tasks for them so that they can invest the time saved in focusing on other important tasks.
Slack:
Slack is a collaboration and communication tool that helps entrepreneurs manage their teams and projects. Slack offers a variety of features that help in everyday tasks such as group chat, file transfer, and workflow. It enables entrepreneurs and teams to interact with their colleagues and collaborate on assignments in real-time.
One of the key benefits of using Slack is that it gives a consolidated platform for all contact and working needs. This means that entrepreneurs may be able to do away with the need for several tools and platforms, resulting in a more efficient workflow. Additionally, Slack interfaces with a wide range of other digital services, like Google Drive and Trello, making it a versatile platform for any organisation.

Google analytics
Google Analytics is a free useful tool that allows businesses to track the success of their website. It delivers in-depth information on website traffic such as auto generated reports, audience demographics, traffic analysis and purchase activity analysis, among others. These insights help in improving business performance by providing information about users who are most likely to convert in a certain time.
Entrepreneurs can use Google Analytics to discover areas for development, measure the performance of their marketing activities, and make data-driven choices to help their businesses expand quicker.
Time, your biggest asset
It's the age of entrepreneurs, but establishing a business from scratch is a herculean task. There are many obstacles on the way to get your business up and running, and there are enormous rewards to reap once you make it, which makes it all worth it. Using the tools above will help millennial entrepreneurs grow, streamline processes, improve their digital presence, make it efficient, save cost, and most importantly, allow them that precious little time so that they can get back to the drawing board and chart their company's future.
